Overview
In Tanzania, both government and private companies supply health commodities. The Medical Stores Department (MSD), which is an autonomous department of the Ministry of Health Community Development Gender Elderly and Children (MoHCDGEC), is responsible for procurement, storage and distribution of health commodities to government health facilities using government and donor funds. MSD is the largest importer of which 80% of medicines, 90% of medical supplies and 100% laboratory supplies are imported from different countries across the world. The Tanzanian Medicines & Medical Devices Authority (TMDA) has a list of medicines and medical devices that are registered in Tanzania, accessible at the following link: https://imis.tmda.go.tz/portal/registered-products/registered-drug-products-1.
In Zanzibar, the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Central Medical Stores Network (CMS) operate a parallel health management system for Unguja and Pemba islands. The CMS stores, manages and distributes medical supplies amongst health care facilities throughout Pemba and Unguja.
Currently there are wholesalers in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Vingunguti, Mbeya and Mwanza. Several wholesale retailers play a big role in bridging the gap in available commodities.
